So after we filmed our first episode we showed some of our friends and they actually seemed to like it. So, we started crafting a story for this new dimension we were transported to. We decided to use a new texture pack for this alternate dimension, that way the geography would be the same, but everything would look different. We were still fairly new to minecraft, so we started building things just because we though they looked cool, and we learned how to do things like make a hidden passage using paintings and how to make a working redstone clock.
To be quite honest, we had no idea what we were doing and the plot at this point was "Travel to alternate dimension, find a bad guy, fight the bad guy, fix the portal and go home." It was originally going to be a much shorter series, but as I developed the plot (which has been changed probably 20 times), we realized that there was so much more we could do and accomplish.
Fun Fact: The scene where we had to run through the fire was a nightmare to film. Basically, we were using a mod that ignited netherrack when powered with redstone. So Zach made a redstone pulse that would not only turn the fire on and off, but it would do so at different speeds. We had practiced getting through to the end without being hit by fire and had done it perfectly. However, on the night we filmed, we walked into the hallway and I noticed something was wrong. The fire was pulsating really fast. For some reason something had happened to his wiring and it was pulsating twice as fast as when we had practiced, which left it virtually impossible to get through without catching fire. We decided to just keep recording and run through the fire to the water at the end, which we thought was much more funny.
